EPPO CODES and EPPT
EPPO CODES and EPPT EPPO PLANT PROTECTION THESAURUS 1st meeting of the ad hoc Expert Working Group on Electronic Certification Paris, 2011-10-04/05 Brief history: a BAYER initiative In the 1970s, BAYER started to develop computer codes for plant, pest and pathogen important in agriculture and compiled their scientific and common names: BAYER CODES Brief history: creation of EPPT 1997: EPPO continued to maintain and develop the BAYER codes and included them into a thesaurus (EPPT): an interface which facilitate access to codes and names 2007: it is accepted to rename BAYER codes as the EPPO codes End of 2007: EPPT is freely accessible through the EPPO website http://eppt.eppo.org EPPO codes: a few general principles For plant pests and pathogens: 6 letters = 4 (genus) + 2 (species) B E M I T A The species Bemisia tabaci: BEMITA An unspecified species of the genus Bemisia: BEMISP Genus Bemisia: 1BEMIG Aleyrodidae Family: 1ALEYF Sternorrhyncha Suborder: 1STERS Hemiptera Order: 1HEMIO Insecta Class: 1INSEC Animal Kingdom: 1ANIMK EPPO codes: a few general principles For cultivated and wild species (including weeds) 5 letters = 3 (genus) + 2 (species) S O L T U Solanum tuberosum: SOLTU An unspecified species of Solanum: SOLSS Genus Solanum: 1SOLG Solanaceae Family: 1SOLF Polemoniales Order: 1POMO Dicotyledons Group: 1DICS Magnoliophyta Division : 1MAGP Plant Kingdom: 1PLAK EPPO codes: a few general principles 1 biological entity = 1 unique code Change of preferred scientific name: Gnorimoschema absoluta = Tuta absoluta => The code GNORAB remains the same Newly described species: Phytophthora pinifolia => PHYTPF is newly created New subspecies: additional codes Xylella fastidiosa = XYLEFA Xylella fastidiosa subsp. multiplex => XYLEFM Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca => XYLEFP Xylella fastidiosa subsp. sandyi => XYLEFS What is the content of EPPT? For each organism EPPT contains: • • • • • Preferred scientific name EPPO code Synonyms and other scientific names (e.g. anamorphs) Common names in different languages Elements of taxonomy and other classification (of agricultural type initially developed by Bayer) EPPT: a few general remarks about taxonomy • EPPT has not been designed as a taxonomic tool o It does not display all taxonomic levels (only the main ones) o It does not provide an exhaustive list of all synonyms (tries to focus on names which have been used for some time in the literature to facilitate data retrieval) EPPT and scientific names Examples of sources used by the EPPO Secretariat Pests Biosis: Zoological Record CABI publications (ANI-CD, Plant Protection Database (abstracts), Crop Protection Compendium) Global Biodiversity Information Facility : http://www.europe.gbif.net/ International Code of Zoological Nomenclature: http://www.iczn.org/iczn/index.jsp NCBI Taxonomy Browser. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=Taxonomy Species 2000: http://www.sp2000.org (annual checklist and dynamic checklist) Fungi Index Fungorum: http://www.speciesfungorum.org/Names/Names.asp Mycobank: http://www.mycobank.org/DefaultPage.aspx Bacteria and phytoplasmas List of prokaryotic names with standing in nomenclature (1998-2007) by JP Euzéby, http://www.bacterio.cict.fr Viruses International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Plants Missouri Botanic Garden: http://mobot.mobot.org/W3T/Search/vast.html International Organization for Plant Information: http://www.bgbm.fu-berlin.de/IOPI/GPC/query.asp International Code of Botanical Nomenclature: http://www.bgbm.fu-berlin.de/iapt/nomenclature/code/ EPPT: common names in different languages Botryotinia fuckeliana (Botrytis cinerea) [ de ] Graufäule [ de ] Grauschimmel [ en ] Brownish-grey mildew [ en ] Grey mould [ es ] Mancha gris de las hojas [ es ] Moho gris: fresa [ es ] Podredumbre gris [ fr ] Cinérite [ fr ] Grillure des feuilles [ fr ] Maladie de la toile [ fr ] Moisissure commune [ fr ] Moisissure grise [ fr ] Pourriture grise What about codes to describe plant commodies? • • In the past, BAYER had developed codes for other types of categories to characterize plants: o NNNZJ: bulb plants o NNNOO: fruit plants o NNNVV: vegetable plants o NNNBA: nursery stock plants EPPO had also started to propose codes for plant categories to describe pesticide uses: o 3VEGC: vegetable crops o 3WOOC: woody plants o 3CFLC: cut flower crops If commodity categories can be standardized, EPPO codes can be developped for them EPPT in a few numbers • • 28 500 plant species (cultivated, wild, weeds) • 6 500 microorganisms species (bacteria, fungus, viruses and virus-like) 21 000 animal species (insects, mites, nematodes, rodents …), biocontrol agents In total more than 56 000 species important for agriculture and plant protection How to use to EPPO codes? EPPT is an interface to consult codes and associated information: free acces www.eppt.org EPPO codes can be used in other computer systems: login and password with an annual licence of 150 euros Why obtain a licence? Download the whole contents of the database at anytime (in different formats, Bayer and xml formats) Obtain the most recent data (more than 1000 names are added or revised per year) Request new codes directly to EPPO and be informed as soon as they are created Special form on the web to request new codes Who is using the EPPO codes? Phytosanitary industry (Bayer, Syngenta, Dupont …) NPPOs Research Institutes (CIRAD) International Organizations (FAO, CABI) EPPO
